| Collapsed as in: * Not enough doctors, nurses, beds and medical supplies to treat all (or even most of) the patients. * Extremely stark triage decisions. Deciding not to treat patients who would normally be treatable, instead leaving them to die. * Doctors and nurses working to the limit of exhaustion. * Normal care essentially stopping. All medical resources being focused on one disease. * Morgues unable to handle the number of dead. Finally, double the regular number of flu deaths occurred in just a few weeks, and that was with extreme social distancing measures. Without those measures, the death toll would have been far higher. You're describing this as some sort of mass hallucination. I don't see how that's a defensible position. |
